SDOT Demands
2023-11-29
After walking and bike commuting around Seattle for a few years, I've developed some demands for SDOT:
- 20mph speed limit on all roads with sidewalks or bike lanes
- One lane maximum for cars, all other lanes become sidewalk, bike lane, or space for gardens, barriers, and outdoor seating
- Many roads become bus / delivery vehicle / handicap only
- All bike lanes / sidewalks are protected by planters or barriers
- Cameras at all intersections, drivers to straight to jail if they fail to come to a full and complete stop, speed, run the red light, don't have lights on, or creep up on pedestrians who are crossing.
- Pedestrians and bikes allowed to jaywalk
- Invest in public transit
SDOT if you don't comply with my demands I'll be forced to be grumpy on my walk to work.
